often took thirty grains at n dose. The
effects of this tremendous stimulation
was to make me nearly wild. 1t broke
my sleep all up. and | often walked the
floor. or staggered about it, all night

other stimulants and on myself, like

I ran down TO 81 pounds-the weight
of a light girl--and was scarcely better
than skeleton.

During the latter part of this period,
early in 1886, my physician said:
MILLER, there no use in nv taking
any more money of You, can't do you
any good. Il might pour pounds of quiz
nine down your throat and it wouldn't
help you.
On the strength of this gave up the
use Of quinine altogether. and made up
my mind to do nothing more and take
my chances.
Three weeks sfterwards--about the
last of May-mv wife saw an advertise
ment Of Kaskine in a New York paper.
She told me of it. | said STUFF and

But she went to druggists, Geverthe-

her against Kaskine: he said X was

He said he didn't keep it. but could get
it if she insisted on having it. Turn
